Hello everyone,
I'm having an issue with my Razer Blade 15 Base model 2018, which I purchased in 2018. For about three years now, the touchpad hasn't been working properly. I can move the mouse cursor, but that's it—there's no response to mechanical clicks or touch. I stopped using my laptop for a while because it became less practical without a functioning touchpad.
Recently, I decided to repair the laptop myself since professional repair costs are currently beyond my budget, and the device is no longer under warranty.
Here's what I've done so far:
- I've updated all drivers and performed all possible software updates, but nothing has worked.
- I checked the battery, which is in perfect condition (I had read that for many models of this generation, the battery could swell and affect the touchpad).
- I disassembled the laptop to inspect the touchpad and took the opportunity to clean the interior thoroughly. Unfortunately, after reassembling and restarting it, the touchpad still doesn't work.
I believe the touchpad needs to be replaced, but I'm not an expert in computer repairs. I would appreciate your help in finding the exact reference for a compatible touchpad for my Razer Blade 15 Base 2018 and, if possible, where I could purchase this part. I've already started searching online, but this item seems to be quite rare.
Additionally, does anyone know if there are touchpads from other versions or newer models that would be compatible with my laptop?
Thank you in advance for your help :)
